Second, it’s an outright financial scam authored by the Statist Democrats: ” The CBO has scored the bill at $1.055 trillion [which] does not take into consideration that fact that the ten-year window contains ten years of revenue and only three to eight years of major payouts –- meaning that the bill will bleed red ink [in subsequent years.”

Admission 2: The only Americans not required to join the national health care program are — wait for it — members of Congress. Democrats are so certain that their own health would be endangered that they want no part of the disastrous Rube Goldberg contraption they’ve created.

Fed Insurer Drops Hernia Coverage As HC Bill Released
Come on. You can’t expect a bunch of old white guys who sit around and drink at night to suddenly start carrying 20 lbs. around with them everywhere they go without hurting themselves, now can you?

What a surprise… not. Time to start hammering on this, especially the hypocrisy which is so much a part of this thing.

We gotta pass this fast with no reading, no consideration, no real investigation into how it will work or the long-term effects? It’s sooooooooooo important to pass this quickly, because otherwise we’re all going to DIE!!!!! But once it’s passed, it’ll be OK to wait three years to enact any of it. Just so long as we know it’s there, waiting, to fix our every problem. Are you KIDDING ME?????

The GOP needs to hit this part of it hard and fast. They need to hammer home the knowledge that this thing is only being delayed because of the 2012 election. Perhaps the knowledge that the libs are doing this to perpetrate yet ANOTHER bait and switch on the American people might just get folks off their keisters and into the streets to fight back.

As for the blatant “You do what makes ME feel good” Congressional escape hatch… well. If the GOP doesn’t use THAT to completely destroy the fragile support this libby Congress has struggled to hold on to, well… Let’s just say it oughta be arse kickin’ time in such a case.

There is enough ammo in this and the other abominations put forth by this Congress to kick these clowns out on their big behinds next year. I call on the GOP to get down to business and get it done!
